A vote for those moneyed interests is not always the wrong choice.

1. It's not so difficult to find facts in favor of NAFTA. It's certainly not the main reason for exporting jobs. China and India are.

2. If the US and W.European oil companies don't do well in the market, who wins the energy game? Russia, Venezuela and other very corrupt (much moreso than Exxon et al) nationalized oil companies. Think that would be good for prices? It's already the main reason prices are so high now. Fund alternative energy research all you want, but the private oil firms are more our friends than our enemies.

I think your wider point about Hillary was true, but just trotting out words like NAFTA, Oil, or Finance to make a point doesn't actually make one.
